A friend of mine made a speech at a model UN conference in high school that included a bit about how the nuclear arms race was "a giant case of penis envy." He was more on it than any of us realized.

If they were going to attack us, they wouldn't have announced it first. There's a reason this was a statement on their own media; this was for domestic consumption. We really need to let it go, but unfortunately we have a person in the Oval who is so thin-skinned that he really does have to wave his dick around at the slightest provocation.
